Darrell Sanford Prince
CEO, The Call for Unity

I'm a civic advocate, strategist, and systems thinker with a deep love for people and a profound respect for the ideals of America — the written ideals, more than the reality we see every day. I believe in the promise of this country and the potential of its citizens to act for meaningful change, and I push for better, smarter, longer-term thinking across sectors.

I was born to two parents who met in a chemistry lab, and hold a B.S. in Physical Sciences from Penn State, focused in Chemistry and Psychology — a foundation in both quantitative reasoning and human behavior. For over a decade I've worked at the intersection of constitutional law, compliance systems, and social change: auditing U.S. election systems, litigating voting rights at the federal and Supreme Court levels, and verifying pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, including HPLC stability testing on Tylenol at Ortho-McNeil and implementing a laboratory information management system at Merck's West Point plant. Guided by Confucius's Rectification of Names, I try to align law, civic systems, and public action with the principles this country was actually founded on. Those experiences reinforce a core belief: broken systems can't simply be patched — they have to be fixed at the root.

I also develop policy for large-scale, Treasury-neutral investment that drives decarbonization and economic growth, and I work to integrate that with other civic and environmental initiatives for real synergy.

Where this started

The Call for Unity came out of Occupy Wall Street. I ran finance and operations for Friends of Liberty Park — the organization behind Zuccotti Park — and watched a real, energized people's movement struggle to convert that energy into lasting structure. This is what I've spent the years since trying to fix: not louder protest, but better mechanics — shared definitions, synchronized small actions, and a structure that turns momentum into follow-through instead of losing it.
